Lynch makes decent throw … for a running back

Measured in their assessment, Seahawks players opted to smile and give kudos to Marshawn Lynch for his throwback pass Saturday.

Lynch had just picked up 37 rushing yards the previous play during his day-long bashing of the Atlanta defense. The Seahawks pitched the ball out to him from the Atlanta 43-yard line the next play. He pivoted and threw a soft, somewhat wobbly pass back to Russell Wilson.

Wilson set then launched toward Jermaine Kearse who pulled in the pass for a 43-yard touchdown to cap a two-play, 80-yard drive that took 57 seconds.
